HHCP’s guiding principle, “…to create the best Guest Experiences possible,” is abundantly in evidence at the Wyndham Vacation Ownership Resort at Bonnet Creek. Development began in 2011, with the first phase completed in 2004 and the final development phase completed in 2011. The resort now boasts 1,149 luxurious condo-style villas set on 58.4 lushly landscaped acres, along with a Village Center and six residential towers clustered around a large man-made lake and boardwalk. The resort’s opulent amenities package includes a fitness center, three pool areas, a lazy river, and access to the adjacent Bonnet Creek Golf Course. Literally surrounded by the massive Walt Disney World Resort, the project posed a special challenge to the HHCP design team to create a unique themed environment that would hold its own in such close proximity to Disney’s famously themed hotels and parks. HHCP’s ingenious solution began with the crafting of a colorful storyline involving an imaginary group of settlers from the Mediterranean who, generations earlier, had supposedly made their home in Florida and constructed their own village. In the process, the “settlers” blended the architectural elements of their homeland with aspects of typical Florida architecture, resulting in a fresh new “blended vernacular.” Thus, Guests at the Wyndham Vacation Ownership at Bonnet Creek Resort find archetypical Florida touches such as verandahs, porches, and shady overhangs seamlessly blended with Mediterranean-style features such as stucco finishes, arched galleries, terra-cotta tile roofs, and a fun, Spanish sense of color.
